Church Announcement

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

The First Presidency is pleased to announce that effective immediately, young women who choose to serve a full-time mission may begin their service at age 18 following graduation from high school or its equivalent.

While the Lord asks every worthy, able young man as part of his priesthood responsibility to prepare for and serve a mission, we reiterate that missionary service remains an optional opportunity for young women. We recognize that for those young women who desire to serve a full-time mission, the choice of age to begin service will not be the same for everyone.

We extend our love to the youth of the Church and commend them for their faithfulness.

Sincerely yours,

The First Presidency

Gilbert Deseret Industries 

This store is very busy—which is positive!  

But the amount of local donations being received is not meeting demand and our Gilbert Deseret Industries store has needed to obtain donations from Utah stores.    

More donations are needed.  

All of the meetinghouses in our area have a donation pod.  Please continue to donate.  The Gilbert Deseret Industries continues to serve the Church and community in a variety of ways. Recently, with back-to-school needs being on the minds of many families in our community, we have provided more clothing and school related needs through our sales, Bishop’s Orders and Community Grants than ever before. We thank you for the donations that have provided for those needs.  Your contributions make a difference!
